Fungus

[benlang]

Yeh, very weird, the blackness went all the way along the top of its tail (not the flesh tail the larvae tail thingo) and right the way back underneath to its bum and all the way round its mouth.

I have bought a yellow axie very young from the pet shop (makes me cry seeing them in tanks with pebbles on the bottom) so if the leucistic shows more improvement over another 20 days i will introduce the yellow one to it.


After trying to deal with a bed for the tank, i have decided to use large stones. Seems easiest to clean.

See ya round like a rissole!

Hi Benlang,

Large stones are actually one of the hardest substrates to keep clean as you need to shift the rocks in order to get the accumulated muck out from under them. Muck under the substrate is a main contributer to water quality issues.

The easiest substrates to clean are sand and bare bottom tank.

Hi all sand or bare bottom is way easier I know from experience of two days with large stones and the fear of the tank breaking when I moved them to clean out the muck from just 2 days, not pretty. I now have sand way eaiser, but if anyone knows where I can buy a turkey baster from that'd be bloody great. Looked everywhere. And please can anyone help with my gold axie who has a similar sort of thing. I started a new thread as I wanted some attention sorry
cheers nat
